Information & Reports: Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study

Study information, reports and publications will be listed below as they become available over the course of the study.

On February 21, 2018, the Scarborough Community Council received an Information Report from City Planning Staff regarding the progress of the Study and the Background Report for the Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study.

Eglinton Connects and Golden Mile Focus Area

The Eglinton Connects Planning Study was adopted by Council in May 2014. The Study extended from Jane Street to Kennedy Road and examined the future land uses, built form, public realm and road layout along this 19-kilometer portion of Eglinton Avenue.

The Golden Mile was identified as one of six Focus Areas with capacity to accommodate future residential, mixed-use, and/or employment growth. The study recommended the preparation of a Secondary Plan for the Golden Mile area. There are five proposed surface LRT stops in the Golden Mile area. These LRT stops are located at Victoria Park Avenue, Pharmacy Avenue, Lebovic/Hakimi Avenues, Warden Avenue and Birchmount Road.

Golden Mile Market Analysis & Economic Strategy Study

The intent of the Market Analysis and Economic Strategy Study was to provide an understanding of current economic and employment conditions for the Golden Mile Secondary Plan Study Area and to suggest an economic strategy that would be used to inform and assist in the preparation of a vision and planning framework for the Golden Mile area, in advance of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The Study was completed in December 2016.
